Just in Time
HARTFORD, Conn. — (UPI) A day after policeman Marshall L. Hopkins took a refresher course in maternity assistance, he helped out as Mrs. Corinne Zimmerman gave birth to a boy in a jewelry store.
One of the largest exhibits ever organized of the original works of German Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer will open Monday at the Museum of Art.
The success in acquiring works for the exhibit is attributed to the students of two art history classes, said Marilyn Stokstad, assistant professor of art history.
The exhibit will be composed of 38 woodcut and engraving prints by Durer, the leading artist of the 16th century Renaissance in the north.
It also will mark the unveiling of the museum's newest acquisition—Durer's "Triumphal Chariots of Maximilian." The 7-foot by 2-foot woodcut was Durer's major commission from Maximilian I of Austria.
Prof. Stokstad explained that the exhibit was arranged by the students in the Northern Renaissance Art class, which she teaches, and the History of Prints class, taught by Edward A. Maser, museum director and assistant professor of art history.
Works Were Listed
"First the students made a list of Durer's most famous prints and checked to see which individuals and museums owned them," Prof. Stokstad said. "Then they wrote letters asking permission to borrow the prints for an exhibit.
"At best, only half of the owners usually will lend their art for a show, but this case was unusual. Everybody said 'yes'—probably to help make the students' exhibit a success."
The major sources of the prints are the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City, Mo.; the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.; and the private collection of Lessing J. Rosenwald of Jenkintown. Pa."
Some of the most famous prints to be shown are "Melancholia," "Knight, Death and the Devil," "Scenes from the Apocalypse" and "Adam and Eve."
After the students received permission to exhibit the prints, they wrote descriptive commentaries or them for the exhibit catalog.
Selfridge Heads Project
John Selfridge Jr., Lawrence graduate student, is chairman of the project and editor of the catalog. Assisting him have been the following 11 students:
William Henry, Parkville, Mo., senior; Mary Jane Brewer, Känsas City, Kan., graduate student; Jack Schrader, Parsons junior; Thomas Coleman, graduate student, and Judith Andrews, junior, both of Wichita; Helen Hull, Woodston senior.

Prof. Stokstad said that the experience of arranging an exhibit is valuable to the students because many of them will be doing this type of work later in art museums.
"It will be a difficult show to design because most of the prints are the same size and we must be careful to avoid dullness," said Prof. Maser.
They will gain further experience in hanging the prints. A discussion will be led by Prof. Maser to determine whether the prints should be hung chronologically, by technique, according to a theme or for design.
"It is important that the students work with original work, too," added Prof. Stokstad. "This is the only way they can learn to recognize true quality."
She said that European art students have an advantage over American students because they live constantly with such art monuments.
"Usually we must go to art museums and see only isolated examples of work. But now for the first time all the famous works are collected for the students to compare first hand."
Engineer Builds Do-It-Yourself Car
SUNNYVALE, Calif. — (UPI) —H.
Gordon Hansen of Sunnyvale really believes in do-it-yourself — to the extent of building his own $5,000 automobile.
The 45-year-old engineer, who designs missile components for a living, decided to build his sleek-tailed vehicle because "I like to do things differently."
And his "Gordon Diamond" is different! Its four wheels are arranged in a diamond with two parallel in the middle of the car and one in front and one in the rear. The aluminum shell body tapers from a bullet nose in front to a slim tail in the rear.
Hansen began building his car after World War II and completed it in 1949 with a few special modifications since then. So far, he said, the project has been a success. It has held up for $8,600 miles of road use.
